Learned Hand has been described as the greatest American judge not to make it to the Supreme Court. Here he is on crowdsourcing:
QUOTE

Right conclusions are more likely to be gathered out of a multitude of tongues, than through any kind of authoritative selection. To many this is, and always will be, folly; but we have staked upon it our all.
United States v. Associated Press, 1943

This opinion was endorsed by the Supreme Court:
QUOTE

The Nation's future depends upon leaders trained through wide exposure to that robust exchange of ideas which discovers truth 'out of a multitude of tongues'.
William J. Brennan Jr.. Keyishian v. Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York et al., 1967

So can all the Americans here please stop attacking crowdsourcing. angry.gif

Of course, anyone who isn't American isn't bound by American law. smile.gif

Unless the US Government demands their extradition to stand trial in Texas. ohmy.gif

I don't think he was referring to the manglement of passages, cut and pasted, from works that the manglers don't understand.
